Adder is a Totem of War.
Overview[]
Adder is the only poisonous snake in Britain, and was a popular totem of the Fianna since the early years anno domini when he taught and commanded Fianna packs in guerrilla strikes against the Romans. Never the conqueror that other War totems boast of being, Adder taught his children then, as he does now, that damage can be done gradually and that enemies can be made to destroy themselves. Though Adder has little power in Ireland, English, Welsh, and Scottish Fianna, and other tribes in Britain, often enjoy Adder’s blessing.
